Ya! Ya!
The memories you've made with me will last forever.
The tenderness you've made with me will never fade.

The most wonderful gift you could ever given me is the special part of you that now lives in me.

My Mother Passed Away on September the Fifth.
I Loved her deeply; now she's simply gone.
All my life I'd known that I was loved,
Living in the circle of her arms.

I can't believe her love is not somewhere,
So strong it was,so much a part of me.
I feel it in the harsh salt of the sea And in the stinging sadness of the wind.

I ride the waves along the rock-strewn shore.
No one watches me with fear and pride.
Now among the stars I am alone.
In her heart I had my only home.
